Summer Art Explorers: Start Your Adventure!
Kids can be Summer Art Explorers wherever they are—at home online, or on-site at the Museum. Every week, explore a new theme featuring extraordinary exhibitions, installations, and activities. Discover works of art in the MFAH collections that embrace every era of history across the globe.
This week brings the theme “Playing with Toys.” Activities include a drawing challenge, fun facts, and creating your own print. Also featured are themes like “Animals,” “Buildings,” and “Snack Time.”
Print the downloadable guides to use at home, or bring them to the Museum—the choice is yours. You can find them all at Summer Art Explorers, in both English and Spanish.
Drop in! This program is free. MFAH members, and children ages 12 & younger, always receive free general admission. On Thursdays, general admission is free for everyone.
